Cleveland Cavaliers’ Guide to Stealing Game 2 of NBA Finals vs. Warriors, The Cleveland Cavaliers have overcome an NBA Finals deficit before.After a 113-91 loss to the Golden State Warriors in Oakland in which they were beaten soundly on both ends, the Cavs will once again have to dig themselves out of a hole.

The good news for Cleveland? Everything that went wrong appeared to be correctable, and with two days off in between Games 1 and 2, it has time to correct. Losers of the opening game have gone on to win four of the past six Finals, including last year’s Cavaliers who lost the first two games at Golden State.

Cleveland’s inability to get back on defense or stop teams in transition has killed it all year. The Cavs were dead last in the NBA in transition defense during the regular season (1.18 points per possession allowed), while opponents scored 53.7 percent of the time they pushed the ball.
